👩👦 MIXED CLASSES

We do our best to offer all competitors the opportunity to participate in at least 1 match. In some cases, we will need to merge classes to get participants. We strive to always have at least 3 participants in each class if possible.

We follow the Swedish BJJ Federation's rules regarding mergers of classes. See below:

1. Age. For children, there may be a maximum of 3 years difference between contestants. Children and Juveniles should never be combined. Keep in mind that age is calculated as follows: (current year - year of birth). Juveniles are allowed to compete against adults in the same belt.

2. Weight. For children, there may be a maximum of 2 weight classes between competitors.

3. Belt. For children, either white and grey as well as yellow and up, or if necessary, white up to yellow and orange and up, are combined. If this is not possible, there may be a maximum difference of 2 steps in belts. For adults, only female adult brown and black are combined.

4. Gender. Children under the age of 13 may be combined across genders. From the year you turn 13, genders will not be combined.

👮🏽♀️ RULES

The competition will be conducted under IBJJF's regulations, except that we apply bronze matches where applicable, and we use Round-Robin, Double Elimination, or Best-of-3, depending on the number of participants in the class. This will be applied to ALL weight classes. Open classes will be Single Elimination as usual. 

⚖️ WEIGH-IN

You get to weigh in when your match is up on the screen in the arena, about 15-30 minutes before your match. You weigh in in full uniform. Make sure to be prepared and ready to make weight and compete. Please, stay in the bullpen after your weight is registered.
